    ¡°This is Yiyimai¡¯s ranch!¡±

    Xiao Yeyang brought Li Xingnian and Li Chenzhi directly to Qingyang Ranch

    Looking at the vast pasture and the herds of cattle and sheep inside, Li Xingnian and Li Chenzhi both had wonder in their eyes.

    "How much money does such a big ranch cost?" Li Chenzhi asked.

    ??????

    Li Xingnian and Li Chenzhi¡¯s eyes lit up: ¡°Really?¡±

    Xiao Yeyang knew that the two of them were interested, so he smiled and shook his head and said: "You can't buy it at this price now. When you came with me just now, did you see other pastures along the way?"

    Li Chenzhi nodded: "Those pastures seem to be quite deserted, not as green as Qingyang Pasture."

    Xiao Yeyang nodded: "When Yiyi bought this place, it was just as deserted as other pastures. It changed after planting high-yielding pasture seeds."

    ¡°Now that everyone knows that the desolate situation of pastures can be changed, they will naturally no longer sell pastures at low prices.¡±

    Li Xingnian smiled and said: "We are not as lucky as Yiyi, but if we can buy a pasture here and raise some cattle, sheep and camels, we can still recover the cost when Xiliang develops in the future."

    The three of them were riding horses through the pasture. Suddenly, Li Xingnian pointed at the two Friesian cows in the cowshed and asked, "Yeyang, are those cows from our Daxia breed?"

    Xiao Yeyang smiled and nodded: "I also bought it from Yiyi. It was introduced from other countries in the Western Region. It produces a lot of milk and can produce sixty or seventy pounds a day."

    Li Xingnian was a little tongue-tied: "No wonder he is so strong. He must consume a lot of food every day."

    After passing through the pasture, the three of them came to the dry Dan River.

    Li Chenzhi: "Ganzhou Wei is so short of water that even the river has dried up."

    Xiao Yeyang shook his head and looked in the direction of Yunlian Mountain with a condensed expression: "The source of the Dan River is at the foot of Yunlian Mountain. The reason why it dried up is because the people from Xiliao blocked the source of the river."

    Without saying anything else, Xiao Yeyang rode his horse across the stone bridge.

    At this moment, the three stone bridges have been repaired. Soon, Xiao Yeyang brought Li Xingnian and Li Chenzhi to the renovated terraces.

    Layers of terraced fields, like stairs, follow the top of the mountain and stretch from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain.

    At this time, it was already June, and the wheat planted in the terraced fields had begun to turn golden. Blown by the mountain wind, waves of wheat were set off, which was very spectacular and beautiful.

    "In ten days and a half, the wheat in the terraced fields will be harvested."

    In Xiliang, because of the abundant sunshine, it only takes three months from sowing to harvesting of wheat.

    Looking at the wheat that is growing gratifyingly, Xiao Yeyang also has a relaxed smile on his face.

    Thousand households in the five thousand households have sent people to report on this year's grain growth. It can be expected that even if the harvest in Xiliang is not as good as other places in the interior, it can barely feed the military households and frontier troops.  Full stomach.

    "This iscorn grown in the south?"

    Li Xingnian pointed to the corn in the terraces and said in surprise: "It's so short of water here, but it can be grown!"

    Xiao Yeyang smiled and said: "Speaking of which, it seems that this corn seed was given to Yiyi by my second uncle."

    Li Xingnian walked quickly to the corn field and carefully looked at the corn in the field: "I didn't expect this corn to be quite drought-resistant." As he said that, he broke off a corn.

    "Is this corn edible?"

    The terrace steward who was waiting aside immediately ran up, saluted Xiao Yeyang, Li Xingnian, and Li Chenzhi, and said quickly: "It's ready to eat. Madam sent her sister from the mansion over two days ago to break off two baskets of fresh rice."  Corn goes back.¡±

    Li Xingnian looked at Xiao Yeyang: "I heard people say that this fresh corn is delicious when I was in the south, but I haven't eaten it yet."

    Xiao Yeyang smiled and said: "It's really good. The yellow cake we ate this morning is corn cake."

    Li Xingnian¡¯s eyes lit up: ¡°That¡¯s the tortillas. I ate three in a row this morning.¡±

    Xiao Yeyang looked at Defu and said, "Go and take two more baskets of fresh corn back and take them with you when you leave later."

    Defu nodded and went down. Xiao Yeyang continued to walk on the terraces with Li Xingnian and Li Chenzhi, scanning the group of people standing not far away and pretending not to see them.

    Li Xingnian: "I see that the corn is growing really well, and the yield must be very high."

    ?? Xiao Yeyang said ¡®hmm¡¯, and his voice was slightly higher: ¡°It¡¯s still not as good as places with plenty of rain, like the villages in the capital.In the village, the yield of corn per mu is about 10 shi, but here, it should only be 60 or 7 shi.  "

    Hearing this, the group of people not far away had a moment of commotion.

    In Xiliang, the yield of even the best fields is only about three shi per mu, and wasteland cannot produce much food at all.

    The yield of corn is sixty-seven stones per mu, which is unimaginable for people in Xiliang. Even so, Xiao Yeyang still looked disgusted.

    The commanders of Jinweiwei and Lanwuwei who came together could no longer bear it and walked hand in hand towards Xiao Yeyang.

    "Master Xiao!"

    Xiao Yeyang raised his eyebrows and looked at the person. Lan Wuwei Commander Pang Guang had seen him before: "Man Pang." After saying that, he looked at the person next to him in confusion. Although he knew the identity of the person, he still asked  :"Who is this?"

    Without waiting for Pang Guang¡¯s introduction, Jiang Wenming, the commander of Jinweiwei, clasped his fists and said, "Master Xiao, I am Jiang Wenming from Jinweiwei. We had already communicated by letter before."

    Xiao Yeyang looked suddenly surprised and said with a smile: "It turns out to be Mr. Jiang. I'm glad to meet you. Thank you for what happened before." The Dong family was able to come to Ganzhou City smoothly, thanks to Jiang Wenming who didn't stop him.

    Jiang Wenming smiled and shook his head: "It's just a small matter, Mr. Xiao, don't take it to heart."

    Pang Guang watched the interaction between the two, feeling a little bitter in his heart. Before the refugees gathered in Ganzhou City, Xiao Yeyang asked him to borrow food for emergency use, but he refused because he was worried that Xiao Yeyang would not stay in Xiliang for too long.  .

    When it comes to him asking for help this time, Xiao Yeyang is afraid that he won¡¯t look good on him.

    Jiang Wenming looked at the corn in the terraced fields and said with a smile: "I heard before that Mrs. Xiao was transforming barren hills into terraced fields. I have never seen terraced fields before, so I couldn't help but be curious. Today I came over with Pang Pang to have a look.  , I never imagined that I would be so lucky to meet Mr. Xiao."

    ??????

    Jiang Wenming looked at the terraces and praised: "Mrs. Xiao is so talented. There is less rain and strong wind and sand in Xiliang. Transforming the slopes into terraces can effectively reduce and prevent the problem of water and soil erosion."

    After the hillside is turned into terraces, the slope of the field is reduced, and the erosion effect of water is weakened. In addition, the field ridges are slightly higher than the terrace surface, which can ensure that water and soil are not easy to flow out of the field, and play a role in maintaining water and soil.

    Hearing this, Xiao Yeyang glanced at the commander of Jinwei Guards in surprise. He only understood the benefits of rebuilding terraces after Yi Yi told him in detail. Unexpectedly, Mr. Jiang could see the benefits at a glance.  .

    It seems that this person usually specializes in farming.

    Xiao Yeyang introduced Li Xingnian and Li Chenzhi to Jiang Wenming and Pang Guang, and then took a few people to continue visiting the terraces and came to the potato planting area.

    "After the wheat and corn are harvested, we can harvest potatoes. These potatoes are the most drought-tolerant. After the yield elsewhere is as high as 15 shi per mu, we can probably harvest around 10 shi here."

    Hearing these words, Pang Guang and Jiang Wenming¡¯s hearts beat violently.

    If Xiao Yeyang didn't lie to them, as long as the guard can grow corn and potatoes, the guard and the garrisoned border troops will not go hungry.

    The two looked at each other quickly, both thinking about how to get high-yielding grain seeds.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
